Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Numerator: 96 → 37.5% of 96 = 36

Decreased by 36 → 96 - 36

New numerator = 60

 

Denominator: 50 → 20% of 50 = 10

Decreased by 10 → 50 - 10 = 40

New Denominator = 40

 

New fraction = \(\frac{60}{40}\) or 1.5

There is an explanation video available below.
